External 5.25" USB-IDE enclosery with IDE swap bay
Rear double on-off (+5V & +12V )switch paypassed with two relays and single line key switch(that original switch on the bay). So what's the point? How to swap, BEFORE: *Turn off the rear switch (hard to reach) *Turn off the bay (only to release the drive) *Swap the HD *Turn on the bay and lock the HD *Turn on the rear switch(only way to make it detect the HD) NOW: *Turn off the bay *Swap the HD *Turn on the bay(detecting!)
There are also pins for external led on ide-adapter board so I plug bays power led into those pins.
